Initial Certification Recertification Reported change in the work registrant status of households Other Describe the process for screening for direct referral to E&T, including the staff involved. Potential work registrants are screened during the interview process through the FAMIS by FSD eligibility staff. Once staff determine the individual is a work registrant, the correct code is entered, allowing FAMIS to determine if the potential SNAP recipient is an ABAWD, an ABAWD who meets an exemption, or a non- ABAWD. Missouri exempts all work registrants from SkillUP participation, but FSD eligibility staff discusses SkillUP as a way to meet the ABAWD work requirement . Verbal review and discussion includes: • Whether the participant is subject to work registration or meets an exemption or exclusion from work registration • Whether the participant is an ABAWD and must meet the monthly work requirement • What are the needs, interests, education, and employment backgrounds of the potential E&T participant to determine interest in specific careers or training and/or if they need help looking for a job • Explaining the requirements of the SkillUP program, the SNAP Work Requirements Informational Notice, and inquire on any barriers that may prevent them from participating in SkillUP • Explaining the benefits and opportunities of enrolling in SkillUP After a SNAP recipient is deemed to meet the basic criteria for participation, the eligibility worker sends a referral to OWCI staff and case note regarding the conversation and referral. Once the SNAP case is approved, the participant’s information is sent to MoJobs via interface in the nightly batch file. All providers can view if the participant is an ABAWD or non-ABAWD. Providers also view services the participant is currently receiving or has previously received. When does the screening for a reverse referral request occur? If a participant seeks services from a SkillUP provider but is not a SNAP participant, the SkillUP provider refers the individual to their local FSD office or the DSS website to apply for SNAP benefits.
